RE: Lower front and rear?
Stoenr: If you would, check the L & R on the rear before you do the coils (just use a plumb line if you're not at the shop. A few guys say they didn't need an adj panhard bar but I cetainly did and most seem to say they did as well. I wonder if in some cases the car is not right on straight from the factory. You'll love the look with just the "high rearend" taken care of. ...Jim

Dear Farlane292 and Stoenr,
Your cars look so "good" and since I'm getting together with Stoenr this spring, I have to bring a pencil and a pad of paper to take notes from him...
Stoenr, good luck with the install!!!

Wow! Isn't it funny how everyone who says they've lowered just the rear has a photo showing the Mustang looking perfect???
Like you'd think that's the way the car SHOULD HAVE been! Now you're making me think...

RE: Lower front and rear?
Orion_240: My only point really is that the factory rear wheelwell gap was so rediculous (front not that bad) that I actually put my rear coils in the night I brought the car home. I didn't want to be embarrased by anyone coming by and seeing what Ford had done with the rear. (Has any ford engineer ever seen a BMW; any model: look at factory tire to wheelwell clearance? ...how can they be so "off"? I honestly get nervous when I see such design "gafs". ...hopefully someone got their _ss fired over that one. But they're still pumping them out this way... UGH! Good news for the aftermarket suspension cos.
Anyway that's a 45min inexpensive effort to resolve, even with the panhard bar. I've got the Eibach fronts to put in but so far I prefer right where I am. The look is more retro than the slammed look of today and "practically speaking" it should be argueably the best solution.
Like being a little unique too, but that may be changing as more folks go this way.

RE: Lower front and rear?
Ill be the one taking notes disco!
The rear end is a little springy too on hard accel, or power shifts. Can see the headlights going from sky to ground back to sky again, lol. I didnt think it was that bad until I did it at night with headlights. Im thinking these rear springs will elimanate some of that.
